Correct. When the Admin is logged in to that part of the site, the connection with the elevated account would be used for all requests so data edits can be performed. For the general user, the restricted connection would be used, where data edits aren't permitted (with limited exceptions granted to that db account). i don't want to mix data connections on a single request.
